<\/a><\/p>\nPower dressing means clothing or accessorizing that increases your confidence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The last few years have seen women heading towards a streamlined, tailored look. Accessories have become fashionable and everything is in the details be it a bright pink shoe under grey trousers or a red handbag with a white jacket. We are fortunate to live in a world where anything goes. But there are some rules, and then some popular myths.<\/p>\n
Rule – Be Comfortable<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
A lot of people feel that Indian clothing cannot be powerful and yet feel conscious while wearing a skirt. Wearing a short skirt and a woolen jacket will only have you tugging at your hemlines and sweating at the armpits. Power dressing means impeccable dressing, not uncomfortable dressing. That means structured neat clothing. If you don\u2019t like showing skin, wear trousers or a long pencil skirt. Find the Indian weather too hot for heavy suits, wear linen. It\u2019s breathable and available in a variety of colors.<\/p>\n
Myth – Power dressing applies solely to western clothes<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Not true. A Nehru collar tunic with a silk scarf over black trousers and a gorgeous cotton sari or a light Kanjivaram, with pleats held together by a simple brooch.
\nWhen in doubt, check out Chanda Kochar, she\u2019s always well dressed.<\/p>\nPower dressing is in the details<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The opposite of power dressing is sloppy dressing. Men – watch that crease in front; it needs to be as sharp as a blade. Shine your shoes, iron your shirt. The exact same ensemble changes drastically if your collars are neat, the shirt is ironed and the shoes look good<\/p>\n
Be unique, we are not in school anymore<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Men, bring out the cufflinks and the interesting pairs of socks. Women now\u2019s the time to accessorize but be careful. Have only one thing stand out. I said pink shoes but not pink shoes and a neon orange top<\/p>\n
Get your hair right<\/strong><\/h2>\n
A good hair day can make anything you wear stand out. You can skip a lot of shopping if you invest in a good haircut. And not to be greasy. Greasy hair equals dirty hair. \u00a0Get rid of the oil. A significant part of the working environment is spent in groups. Imagine being stuck in an air-conditioned room for four hours with the smell of amla hair oil<\/p>\n
Respect the environment<\/strong><\/h2>\n
When going for a site visit to Raipur, understand your environment. It\u2019s going to be hot and it\u2019s going to be more conservative. That doesn\u2019t mean you don a potato sack. It means you rethink the heels and try a pair of trousers instead of a skirt<\/p>\n
Be professional<\/strong><\/h2>\n
No matter what environment you are in, be professional. That means you make sure your clothes align with what you do,<\/p>\n
